West Wales Raiders players brought in for Ironmen's kick off at Stebonheath

Ranks are boosted as both sides name 19-man squads.

This weekend sees a bonanza of rugby taking place at Stebonheath Park, home of the West Wales Raiders.

First up on Saturday, South Wales Ironmen take to the field in the first game in their brand new home as they welcome the team who are still just about their local rivals, Gloucestershire All Golds (kick-off 3pm).

The All Golds, based in Cheltenham, 119 miles from Llanelli, are only just closer than the Crusaders in Wrexham, 127 miles away.

The Ironmen are guaranteed to field a number of debutants after bringing in a multitude of new players from West Wales Raiders.

All Golds will feature many players who live in South Wales with seven former Scorpions / Ironmen players in their 19-man squad.
